DIPHU, OCT 26: Karbi Students’ Association (KSA) along with Students & Youth for Justice (SYJ) and Students & Youth Council (SYC) have decided to stage a road blockade in Manja town (NH-36) on October 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to protest against the “greater Nagalim” demand.

DIMAPUR, OCT 26 (NPN): A constitution bench of the Gauhati High Court on August 30, 2017 took up the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the Chakhesang Public Organisation in 2006 challenging the delimitation exercise carried out in Nagaland based on what the CPO described as “erroneous census of 2001 in the year 2006”. According to CPO president, Kekhwengulo Lea and general secretary, Mutivoyi Kotso, the PIL was to seek court intervention in preventing the government of Nagaland from going ahead with the delimitation exercise with the erroneous census 2001. The constitution bench after hearing the matter took cognisance of the submission of the Assistant Solicitor General of India K.C. Keyal who submitted that a notification was issued by the President of India on February 8, 2008 deferring delimitation exercise in the state of Nagaland, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and

Irrespective of whether all members of an eligible household have Aadhaar, full quantity of subsidised foodgrains or cash transfer of food subsidy upon fulfilling the requirements laid down will have to be extended. Similarly, even in the case of failure of biometric authentication due to a technical glitch or poor biometric quality, the beneficiary will have to be provided the benefits on physical production of Aadhaar card along with the ration card. All these cases — namely those without Aadhaar, Aadhaar not linked to ration card, or failure of biometric authentication — where benefits are being extended, will have to be recorded separately as “exceptions” by the fair price shop dealer. Further, the States will have to devise a mechanism of monthly audit and inspection, including field verification of such “exceptions” to guard against any “misuse”.

vation after being allegedly denied PDS ration. Activists have alleged that the girl in Simdega district died of starvation as her family’s ration card was cancelled since it was not linked to Aadhaar. In the directive, the food Ministry has clarified that deletion from the ration card database can only happen after a proper verification establishes “beyond reasonable doubt” that an entry pertaining to the cardholder is not genuine. State field functionaries have been asked to ensure that beneficiaries are not turned away on the ground of non-possession of Aadhaar, and all exceptions in this regard are recorded in a separate logbook. When contacted, Ajay Bhushan Pandey, CEO of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), told PTI, “The intention is to ensure that no one is denied any food benefits for lack of Aadhaar, lack of linking, or technical

DIMAPUR, OCT 26 (NPN): Eastern Nagaland College Students’ Union (ENCSU) Thursday said that it has, after thorough deliberation, decided to serve a four-day ultimatum on the Department of Higher Education (DoHE) to clarify and rectify the disbursement of post-matric scholarship on installment basis. ENCSU through its media cell cautioned that the union would take its own course of action “without any hesitation” if the department failed to do so. ENCSU pointed out that the department and the state government have failed to furnish copy of directive issued by the ministry, which purportedly directed the scheme implementing department to disburse the scholarship on installment basis.

As long as a person is genuine, he has to be given the benefit, in this case, ration.” The States and the Union Territories will have to make arrangements to provide Aadhaar enrolment facilities to those without Aadhaar and link their Aadhaar numbers with their ration cards, the Ministry said. It cautioned that strict action would be taken if provisions of the notification are violated. As per the National Food Security Act, the States have been given deadline till December 2017 to link Aadhaar with ration cards. So far, 82% of the ration cards have been seeded with Aadhaar number in the country. The Ministry directive mentions that till such time Aadhaar is assigned to the beneficiary, subsidised foodgrains will have be given on production of ration card, enrolment slip and other stipulated documents like election card.

others. In view of the notification, the ASG contended that the case has become infructuous and therefore, do not call for adjudication. The counsels for the petitioners including the Advocate General of Arunachal Pradesh also endorsed the submission of the ASG Keyal and concurred that the case be disposed off as infructuous in view of the above development. CPO said the next delimitation exercise will take place only on the basis of the first census after 2026 and that after the legal closure of the PIL, the census of 2001 stood rejected for the basis of delimitation. CPO further contended that the victory in the PIL has also prevented transfer of political power from the tribal hills to foothills with major composition of population being non-tribal and nonindigenous inhabitants. CPO also expressed gratitude to the effected MLAs and those communities who stood by Chakhesang Public Organisation.

NEW DELHI, OCT 26 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said a new consumer protection law was on the anvil to crack down on misleading advertisements and ensure that grievances are redressed in a time-bound and cost effective manner. The government had enacted a GST law, which would benefit consumers in the long run as prices would come down because of competition among manufacturers, he said. “Today we are in the process of enacting a new Consumer Protection Act keeping in view business practices and requirements of the country. The proposed Act lays great emphasis on consumer empowerment,” he said. “Stringent provisions are proposed against misleading advertisements. A Central Consumer Protection Authority with executive powers will be constituted for quick remedial action.” “Protection of consumer interests is a priority of the government. This is also reflected in our resolution of the New India. Moving beyond Consumer Protection, New India will have best consumer practices and consumer prosperity,” Modi said.

On the claim of cock symbol, Yitachu said the issue was over with the ECI giving its order on October 17. He asked the dissidents to return to party fold if they wanted the cock symbol. Yitachu also asked Neiphiu Rio to nurture his NDPP instead of putting all efforts to dismantle the NPF party. He said that dismantling NPF party would be destroying Naga culture, tradition and identity, which the party had been preserving for ages. In his address, Vikheho Swu, MLA, questioned how the elected members could run the government without knowing a piece of party principles. (Cont’d on p-7)

NNC and FGN will stand by 1951 plebiscite: Metha DIMAPUR, OCT 26 (NPN): FGN kedahge, ‘gen.’ (retd) Viyalie Metha on Thursday said that the NNC and FGN would “firmly stand by the mandate of the May 16, 1951 Naga plebiscite, which was to be a sovereign Independent Naga nation.” Metha said since the “prop up ongoing parley between the so called NSCN (I-M) and GoI has been added with a new twist by inclusion of six NNPGs,” the FGN was compelled to highlight the “historical facts about the Indo-Naga conflict”. He went on to point out that the Indo-Naga conflict “did not begin with any aggressive action” by Nagaland against India. Citing B.N. Mulik’s statement, he said the conflict started when “troops moved into Tuensang by October 1955, and the war with Nagas started from then.” Metha reminded that

the Nagas had declared Naga independence on August14, 1947 a day ahead of India’s own independence declaration. Accordingly, he said the republic of Nagaland known as the Federal Government of Nagaland was setup on March 22, 1956. “Unlike other states in the Indian union, the NNC, FGN and the Naga army have been defending Nagaland’s sovereignty from 1947 to the present,” he added. He therefore cautioned that “any Naga citizen from any Naga organization, who would ignore these irrefutable facts of our history and make any sham settlement with India, would be guilty of treason to the nation.” Metha also reminded that the NNC and FGN were still holding on to the 1964 Indo-Naga ceasefire between the FGN and the Government of India in order to have a peaceful solution to the Indo-Naga conflict.

Members of All Nagaland Private Schools Association at the meeting.

DIMAPUR: All Nagaland Private Schools Association (ANPSA) held its annual general body meeting on October 24 at Baptist High Kohima, wherein the association president, Bithungo Kikon, asserted that “private schools are facing extraordinary times”. A press release by ANPSA informed that in his opening remark, Kikon lamented that today the private schools are being “punished” for performing well in their duties. He said the attempts to curtail the autonomy of private schools were being felt. However, Kikon added that private K Y M C

schools would continue to do well no matter what saying, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going”. Stating that teachers are happy when the nation progresses, he said teachers are the only group of people that experience genuine joy in the success of others children. He also reminded that an organisation cannot succeed unless it was very clear about its goals. Presenting the annual report, ANPSA general secretary, Nini Sekhose, highlighted the achievements of ANPSA during

the year. She asserted that one of the most important changes taking place in ANPSA was the feeling of fraternity that was arising among the schools. Nini said the schools are now coming together to collaborate rather than to compete. Stressing on the fact that private schools were the backbone of the state, she said as employment generators, private schools are second only to the government. She informed that, private schools are employing more than 30,000 teaching and non teaching staff in

the state. She also lamented that although 75% of the student population was in private schools, it have no say in the formulation of education policies. Nini said the government is the regulator, the financier and the provider of education all rolled into one and that such a system does not bode well both for private as well as government schools. She highlighted the need for a neutral body for formulating education policies. She said presently the state level education committee was the highest education policy making body of the state that formulates education policies for schools under school education and NBSE. However, Nini lamented that the body was “thoroughly populated” by government officials only without any representation from the private schools where representation of private school was very important. In this regard, she said ANPSA has written to the government to include the president of ANPSA central in the SLEC and response from the government was awaited.

PSA Mon, president, Daniel Konyak spoke on the challenges faced by private schools in the interior districts. He stressed on communication problems and how it took a school about five days to commute from Mon to Kohima for routine works. He urged that the board to consider having a branch attached to the SDEO office Mon from where routine works could be accomplished. Fr. Felix Montero spoke on the pros and cons of introducing board exams in Classes 4 and 8.

MUMBAI, OCT 26 (AGENCIES): The National Investigation Agency on Thursday submitted its charge-sheet against televangelist Dr Zakir Naik, in connection with a case filed against him for allegedly inciting youngsters to take up terror activities. The NIA, in the 58 page charge-sheet, has declared the Salafist preacher an absconder and booked him for inciting communal hatred. He has been charged under sections 295-a (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage reli­gious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or reli­ gious beliefs), 298 (uttering, words, etc., with deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of any person) and 505-b (with intent to cause, or which is likely to cause, fear or alarm to the public, or to any section of the public whereby any person may be induced to commit an offence against the State or against the public tranquility) of the Indian Penal Code. Sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act have also been slapped against Naik. The

Zakir Naik 51-year-old televangelist, who left the country in July last year, is being probed under terror and moneylaundering charges by the NIA. He fled India on July 1, 2016, after terrorists in neighbouring Bangladesh claimed that they were inspired by his speeches. The NIA had on November 18, 2016, registered a case against Naik at its Mumbai branch under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. His Mumbai-based NGO, Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), has already been declared an unlawful association by the Union Home Ministry. Naik is said to have acquired citizenship of Saudi

Arabia but this has not been confirmed yet. T h e c o n t r ove r s i a l preacher has been accused of spreading hatred by his provocative speeches, funding terrorists and laundering several crores of rupees over the years. Naik, a medical doctor-turned preacher, during his interactions with the Indian media from broad has repeatedly denied all the charges. The Interpol was approached against Naik after a year- long probe during which the NIA gathered evidence on his IRF and Peace TV being used to allegedly promote hatred between different religious groups. Besides banning his NGO, the central government has taken his TV channel off air. The passport of Naik was also revoked by the Ministry of External Affairs at the request of the NIA earlier this year. The Mumbai-based preacher came under the lens of security agencies after some terrorists allegedly involved in the attack on a cafe in Dhaka in July last year reportedly claimed they were inspired by his speeches.

AGRA/LUCKNOW, OCT 26 (IANS): Police said on Thursday they have arrested one person and are looking for three others for attacking a Swiss couple at Fatehpur Sikri near Agra, leaving them badly injured. The Swiss tourists are now warded in Delhi’s Apollo Hospital. Additional Director General of Police Chandra Prakash said the arrest was made from the Agra-Rajasthan border. He declined to reveal the identity of the arrested person. Prakash said the Swiss couple - Quentin Jeremy Clerc and Marie Droxz were found lying injured and bleeding on a roadside on October 22 after some locals alerted police about them. Police took them to a private hospital in Agra where first aid was given. The couple refused to lodge an FIR and requested police to allow them to go for further treatment to Apollo Hospital in New Delhi. But police lodged a complaint on their own, Prakash said. “We are trying to arrest all the four persons involved in the incident.”

BEIJING, OCT 26 (AGENCIES): China on Thursday said India should shed its reservations over ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ and join the project as it will not change Beijing’s stand on the Kashmir issue. “We welcome other countries including India to participate in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on the basis of voluntarism,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang

from 29 countries including Pakistan, due to sovereignty concerns over CPEC which passes through Pakistanoccupied Kashmir. In a strongly-worded statement issued hours before the opening of the forum in the Chinese capital, India had said that it had strong reservation over the CPEC as it undermines India’s territorial integrity. “Guided by our principled position in the matter, we have been urging China to engage in a meaningful dialogue on its connectivity initiative, ‘One Belt, One Road’ which was later renamed as ‘Belt and Road Initiative’. Regarding the so-called CPEC, which is being projected as the flagship project of the BRI/ OBOR, the international community is well aware of India’s position. No country can accept a project that ignores its core concerns on sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the then External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay had said in a statement.

Slowdown and lowdown

N

agaland has been bedevilled with another syndrome, which is political immorality, a close relation of corruption of the worst form. The 12th Nagaland Legislative Assembly will certainly go down as one of the most controversial in having two leaders of the legislature party (ruling) representing two rivals claiming to be NPF, two chairmen of DAN and two Chief Whips. One NPF has no government while the major ruling partner has no party (till the issue is decided by the Election Commission of India.) As mentioned earlier, the 12th NLA has witnessed a series of rebellions within the ruling NPF party since 2014 over the successor chief minister. In addition members of the 12th NLA have created a record of sorts in forming rival camps housed in luxury hotels or resorts to prevent poaching. Also, the 12th NLA has witnessed four swearing-ins of chief ministers of which the present incumbent has been sworn-in twice. Despite having a brute majority of 47 (after the demise of one) the ruling NPF has disproved the theory that having majority ensures stability. Today, the NPF- divided between the majority of MLAs (38) under chief minister T.R. Zeliang and the nine MLAs who remained with the organisation under party president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü- is embroiled in fights either in the courts, the ECI or the Assembly secretariat. The fight is to claim legitimacy over the party and its ‘Cock’ symbol and flag etc. Without repeating what had been written in the past on the matter, the nadir of Naga politics is being exposed more and more through various episodes. The people may, or may not know; and may, or may not care but they cannot ignore the shameful charade of their elected leaders. There is no sense of shame in the entire political drama where instability has become an ever present dark shadow cast by the greed for money, power and position. Any time the balance shifts- from those who can convince or who can manipulate that they will deliver their promises, the balance shifts. While Nagaland has fallen to the depths of economic backwardness, crumbling infrastructures and strangulation of even the little semblance of a system by the all pervasive corruption; the elected leaders see only their interests. There are so many justifications for all the wrong things. Those who loot convince themselves that they do that because people don’t want lectures on morality or probity but only expect money and favours. Recent exposes in the media by various organisations who pointed to a very disturbing phenomenon of double drawal authority for the same project at different occasions by the government should be probed to unearth the facts. However, probes have been as scandalous for not making the political bosses and senior bureaucrats accountable but merely netting only the middle rung- joint secretaries, directors, SEs etc. Therefore even if there is to be any probe the big fishes will never be caught so it will be futile to expect much from such state probes. Things have not and will not improve because nobody talks sense anymore in any issue that are so talked about today. This is because leaders have lost their moral bearing and can no longer lead or see clearly.

DailyDevotion What is a Missionary? Jesus said to them again, “…As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” —John 20:21 A missionary is someone sent by Jesus Christ just as He was sent by God. The great controlling factor is not the needs of people, but the command of Jesus. The source of our inspiration in our service for God is behind us, not ahead of us. The tendency today is to put the inspiration out in front— to sweep everything together in front of us and make it conform to our definition of success. But in the New Testament the inspiration is put behind us, and is the Lord Jesus Himself. The goal is to be true to Him— to carry out Hisplans. Personal attachment to the Lord Jesus and to His perspective is the one thing that must not be overlooked. In missionary work the great danger is that God’s call will be replaced by the needs of the people, to the point that human sympathy for those needs will absolutely overwhelm the meaning of being sent by Jesus. The needs are so enormous, and the conditions so difficult, that every power of the mind falters and fails. We tend to forget that the one great reason underneath all missionary work is not primarily the elevation of the people, their education, nor their needs, but is first and foremost the command of Jesus Christ— “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” (Matthew 28:19). When looking back on the lives of men and women of God, the tendency is to say, “What wonderfully keen and intelligent wisdom they had, and how perfectly they understood all that God wanted!” But the keen and intelligent mind behind them was the mind of God, not human wisdom at all. We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were “foolish” enough to trust God’s wisdom and His supernatural equipment.

Is the Christian faith apolitical and its stand neutral?

A

ccording to a Bible scholar by the name G. Gimenez, the “apolitical” nature of the church is an ideological illusion similar to that of the Prophet Jonah, who dreamed that he was riding in a whale when in reality he was wallowing around in its viscera. Of all the various faiths in the world, the Judeo-Christian faith has been political from the very beginning. For example, man’s ability to live in society derives from creation, as does also the relation between rulers and the ruled. In addition, our lives are to be governed by certain absolutes which have their source in God. As such, the need for ruling and governing are part of our belief system for earthly co-existence. So the real question before us is whether the church is exercising its political function as God would want it or is it legitimizing the existing godless political system. Let’s take, for example, the two rites of the Christian faith: Baptism and the Eucharist. These religious rites are very po-

litical because there are no middle grounds as to what they represent and who are qualified to receive them. They are political because they are symbols of identification – they demand our complete loyalty to Christ as our King over all that is opposed to Him and His will. They are political because they promote liberation, brotherhood, and equality. They are political because they inescapably sow seeds of nonconformity. They are political because they radicalize and energize politics as a field of service dedicated to God. Like the celebration of the Passover before leaving Egypt or the observance of circumcision before entering the Promised Land, these two Christian rites can also be seeds of revolution that awaken the minds of what is possible, to what is not yet achieved. Of course, this is not an attempt to suggest a politicizing of our Christian rites. What I am simply attempting to do is to awaken ourselves to the political character of our faith, to reorient the direction of our political conduct, as well as to make

necessary readjustments their faith and make their in our Christian response religious motivations clear. towards politics. As for Christians, those When we divorce our unaware of the political Christian faith from poli- stakes should be awakened tics, we reduce ourselves from their apolitical sleep to a bunch of good-for- and be forced to implement nothing people on earth.

it is incumbent upon us to choose the candidate whose principles are in line with our Christian values. Otherwise, by saying that we are taking a neutral position, we are only making a negative choice, which is nothing but an endorsement of the status quo, whatever it is, because there is no such thing as a neutral issue --that is, either you are for it or you are not. In politics, election season is a time when citizens are presented with many choices and options. As a Catholic catechist said in our Jotsoma Baptist Church last Sunday, the election should be a good time to “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves” (2 Cor. 13:5). But since most Nagas may not even know how to apply their faith in making political decisions, it’s critically important that Christian leaders help those under their watch. In a Christian state like Nagaland, Christian leaders should not abandon their civic duties and let everyone else decide about

the direction of our people. Nor should we keep waiting for the situation to run its natural course and hope things to improve on their own. To do so would be like inviting the situation to lead us rather than we taking charge of our situation and changing it to our liking. It’s also unwise to allow only politicians to set all agendas on various issues according to their whims and wishes. The church leaders in Nagaland have a huge unrecognized political power in their hands. They need to wake up and begin to assume a more proactive role and lead our people on certain public issues, which, as a start, could be as follows: take initiatives to determine the issues we need to have as our priorities, set certain minimum standards for public conduct, arrange a common platform where political candidates can be asked about their stand on any issue, and recommend the ones who meet the churches’ expectation for public service. Yes, it’s time our Naga Church lead from the front!

Post-mortem Road or brook?

A

portion of state highway between Tamlu and Bura Namsang under Longleng district, of the 105 km road connecting Merangkong NH-2 (erstwhile NH-61) from Mon via bypass Namsang and Tamlu which was built in nineties is abandoned. We may overlook the road but more like a brook. We see intersection of water flowing one line along the narrow road, and the flooded stream crossing downward. Surface blacktop has been replaced by puddle. Most of the culverts and hume pipes are gone. Bridges are on the verge of collapse. Earlier, the passenger taxis and buses were moving between Mon and Mokokchung through this road. This has been saved fuels cost and time by 25-30%, and the villages/towns which falls along this highway had also been benefited in one way or the other. There was public transport (NST) from Namsang to Dimapur/ Longleng traveling alternately but these public transport and passenger vehicles have ceased to travel through dilapidated state road. Our economic development depend on road infrastructure as lacking of proper roads has hampering our economic growth. With the present deplorable road conditions local products and agricultural crops couldn’t transport nor import essential commodities from other places. During monsoon people are facing impossibilities to bring subsidized foodgrains under PDS and other benefits given by the government. The

village authorities are given effort in building temporary bridges, filling earth, stones in the road and clear landslides which triggered from time to time, but, due to financial constraint they are unable to put in place a long sustainable road. As such government authorities have been silent over the plight of people living in the absence of road connectivity. Had the state government been invested for road construction and maintained of existing roads as given importance to festivals every year the road conditions would not have gone worse as of today in Nagaland. This particular road has been included in 2 lane project with other districts in Nagaland initiated under the banner of the Special Accelerated Road Development Programme in North East (SARDP-NE) however controversy over irregularities in the implementation led to pending of execution. Consequently, following the complaints over bad roads from various sections; and realising road is part of state assets, the state government has proposed to undertake various road projects in Nagaland. Hope this particular road stretching 105 km is priority in the proposed programme for upgradation of road. Hope commencement of work will soon start without delay; and unaccountability, irregularities in the implementation what was happening in the previous SARDP-NE project should not be repeated again.

Transition of Nagas from hard working culture to a dependent economy

N

agas are good in spending huge sums of money lavishly and little known about the knowledge of conserving, preserving and progressing Economy. Due to lack of good Economic knowledge and wanting to spend heavily on sky rocketed commodities , many people have jump into bankruptcy; from riches to rags, from zenith life to pauperise condition and finally landing in the search for easy money or easy means of livelihood by accumulating capitals by ways of unfair means. Interestingly, Nagaland state is not the producing state but a consuming state and hence our economy is draining away daily to outside Nagaland. The Nagas famously known by outsiders as hard working tribes since time immemorial has today lost its importance. The Nagas have transformed to a dependent culture and today the term ‘hard working Nagas’ have no more meaningful tag to exist by its name. Nagas were known for truthfulness, simplicity, purity, courageous and the most valuable being a hard working people. But unfortunately, today nagas is a laze naga who prefer easy economy instead of

earning money through sweat, pain and tears for livelihood and we often opt or incline towards easy means of livelihood for prestige and status issue. Our great grandparents during early days had strived hard with their honest and truthful attitude for the survival of their families and existence. Though skirmish battle took place to protect their boundaries from the invading enemies and sometimes in order to extend their territories for survival, they waged war and involved in ‘Red Tapism’ otherwise they were hard working and lived on an independent economy. But now sadly, Nagas have become too lazy and greed for easy money and dependent economy is becoming our own culture in Naga liberal society. Hence in order to protect our fizzle economy we must work hard irrespective of profession, work etc. As far as our Nagas mindset and mentality is concerned, we yearn for easy cash and easy flow of economy. It’s true that we don’t have huge industries like other advance states in India but we should keep on pondering and ask ourselves by building our own industries through our own initiatives. If we invent something new

Time for Nagaland to take the road less travelled

W

ater! Water! Water everywhere but not a drop to drink may be said as Roads! Roads! Roads everywhere but not one road worth calling it a road is the mess of Nagaland. The recently held colloquium on road connectivity that concentrated on new National and State Highways and nothing about the much needed revamping and polishing of the existing dilapidated village and District roads was not only trying to build castles in the air but also an exhibition of the superfluity and emptiness of the Government of the day. The colloquium lacked logic. First thing first was missing. Talking about Projects like airport in Kohima and new Highways for Nagaland is simply fanciful thinking for now since its prerequisite implies that all our internal connectivity in all the Districts are furnished. In the same note, even the Prime Minister’s recent idea of a bullet train though good is also still at a superstructure

realm since the need of the people of India is not bullet trains but improvement of the existing train services countrywide to the best possible. By installing a bullet train in a particular area will not ease the transport problems of the country. One of the major reasons why Nagaland has landed into development chaos is due to the absence of the much needed ‘roadmap’ of development. By roadmap, I mean that every Minister should have the vital statistics of the entire State of one’s portfolio on one’s table indicating what needs to be done urgently. Lack of a roadmap has led to piece meal and fragmented activities letting the State to what we are today. The other reason that contributed to the chaos is the wrong priorities of the Cabinet, especially the leader of the House. Factually speaking, Nagaland is just a hand palm size with a handful population of a colony of a city in India. In compari-

son to the staggering ever increasing fund allocation and expenditures reported on paper and statistics the State should have developed by now. But instead of developing, Nagaland has become a white elephant. This is a glaring example of inefficiency and greed for money prevalent among the Ministers, bureaucrats and technocrats and lack of vision for common good. The road ahead for progress requires realistic planning taking into account the ground realities based on the immediate need of the people i.e. infrastructure and not superstructures like Airports and new Highways. Another important factor is for any planning, it must be for all the Districts. What we see thus far is full of disparity among the Districts in development opportunities. The reason behind the disparity stems from prevalence of nepotism and favouritism in the mentality of the planners and decision makers. The

deprived Districts must stand up against these injustices. All Districts have the right to equitable opportunity of development because development of one District doesn’t mean development of the State. The villages are developmentally starved and for development to happen depend on what kind of MLAs the electorate vote and by what kind of Chief Minister, the MLAs choose. The Progress of a State depends primarily on the vision, energy and the enthusiasm of the Chief Minister. If a State is underdeveloped, it is because of poor leadership quality of a Chief Minister. Election is a political final examination for all the constituencies and it is at our doorstep. Life for five years will be determined by this examination; the kind of representatives we vote. Don’t waste your precious vote and don’t sell your vote unless you want to remain poor forever. Choice is yours! Jonas Yanthan

which is adaptable and vital to Nagas way of life and livelihood then it can also be a means of small industry which will provide job opportunity to thousands. But ironically, the problem is, currently with over 70 thousand Naga educated unemployed youth spreading all over Nagaland, we tend to opt for finding and getting ‘white collared job’ only. In such a stagnated economy of state even the professional farmers don’t bother to do farming in the rural areas. Moreover our land is very fertile and if the farmers do extensive farming then it can at least consume the state populace with reasonable price or even can export to other states thus saving our economy for building an economic rich state. But unfortunately, today they (farmers) mostly depend on governmental schemes for their survival. Our economy has been looting away by outsiders making us more difficult to survive with the price rise in essential commodities. We the Nagas can pay any amount without second thought for what we wants and this trend needs to be check. (To be concluded) Yarangchang imchen, Lirmen Village

Appeal to CE of Power department

(Indication of the electric meter reading of previous and present in the online power bills with the month and window for sending present meter reading to the department by the consumer.) Sir,

While appreciating the introduction of online payment system of electric bills, it is to request the authority to kindly indicate the billing month and the meter reading of previous and present meters in the online bills also as it is in the paper bills so as to let the consumers know the proper meters reading. It is also requested the authority to open the window for collecting the present meter reading from the consumers by way of SMS or any other ways so that the department can make the bill on the basis of the actual meter reading submitted by the consumers. In most cases, the department makes the bills in average and never correct the bill even the actual meter reading was submitted by the meter readers unless the consumer complained and most of the consumers use to pay the double bills without knowing it. Nowadays the consumers are not getting the bills on time but the department will definitely insist to clear the bill even the bills are not supplied to the consumers. Hence, the Chief Engineer of Power Department is requested to rectify the system accordingly which will be convenient and beneficial for both the consumer and the department. K.

Lashing out at PM Modi over the implementation of note ban, as a result of which millions of Indians had to stand in queues in front of banks, racing from one ATM to another, losing their jobs, and even dying in the process, the Congress leader said the decision had unleashed terror in the hearts of people. “All cash is not black and all black is not cash. Without understanding this basic concept, the government unleashed terror over the citizens of India. To do that, you need someone with a very big chest and a very small heart,” he said. He also vilified GST for unleashing a “tsunami of tax terrorism”, which combined with the adverse

effects of demonetisation sent the country’s economy into a downward spiral that it is yet to recover from. “PM Modi fired double tap - two quickly, close shots (Demonetisation, GST) to ensure the target is down, which crippled our economy,” he said. This state of affairs can be remedied by the Congress, Rahul claimed, even as he admitted to the party’s shortcomings in governance while it had been in power. The party’s vision is to involve small and medium enterprises to revive the economy chart a new growth trajectory for India. “Start Up India cannot be accompanied by Shut Up India. It is imperative for government to listen to you, trust you, believe in you,” he told the gathering. Addressing the issue of unemployment, Rahul claimed that the NDA government has created a toxic environment for the country’s youth. “China outperforms us in creation of jobs. Every day, China creates 50,000 jobs, while India creates only 450. No amount of growth is good enough if it’s not accompanied by creation of jobs,” he said.

(From p-1) He also asked the elected members from the rival faction whether they have forgotten the constitution of NPF, the party from which they were elected. Asserting that ECI was run by officials having dignified personalities, Swu said the commission therefore does not give wrong decision and that its order was clear. MLA also said that the question of disqualifying the nine MLAs on the ground of July 19 session did not arise since there was no business. In this regard, he challenged the NLA speaker to disqualify them if there were any such laws. Longon, MLA and NPF general secretary, Akho Leyri, also spoke at the protest site. The NPF central youth wing was joined by its supporters from various other districts.

Pilot moves HC against Rajasthan govt JAIPUR, OCT 26 (IANS): Congress Rajasthan unit President Sachin Pilot on Thursday moved the High Court against the Vasundhara Raje government’s controversial ordinance promulgated to protect public servants against a probe into on-duty actions without prior sanction. The Criminal Laws (Rajasthan Amendment) Ordinance, 2017, was promulgated in early September. Pilot said he had mentioned in his court petition that the said ordinance was violative of Articles 14 and 19 of the Indian Constitution, which deal with equality before law as well as right to freedom of speech respectively. The Congress leader said that though the bill on the matter has since been referred to a Select Committee of the Rajasthan assembly,

the ordinance remained in force. “We want the ordinance to be revoked,” Pilot said. As per the rules, though the bill may have gone to the house Select Committee, the ordinance remains in force for six weeks till December 5. On Wednesday, Pilot tweeted: “This draconian gag ordinance needs to be scrapped. Sending it for reconsideration is just not enough.” He also told the media that there was no place for a law offering legal protection to the corrupt. On Monday, ignoring criticism from various quarters, the Bharatiya Janata Party government had tabled the Criminal Laws (Rajasthan Amendment) Bill in the Rajasthan Assembly. On Tuesday, it was referred to the Select Committee.

ISRO is crossing limits, furnishes incomplete information: IMD plete weather details. As per a report published in Sakshi Daily, the Director General of IMD, K J Ramesh has said that the space organisation has crossed all limits by merely imagining the prediction of cyclones without any significant

information. Till now, the country is not fully equipped with technology that can accurately predict cyclones. The report further mentions that ISRO is directly sending weather reports to the Andhra P r a d e s h g ove r n m e n t

whereas, it should ideally be forwarded to IMD as the setup is supposed to add value to it and process it further. ‘It’s our job to accumulate all the data, make additions to it, complete it and process it further’, the IMD official was quoted

as saying. Coming up with incomplete details about the weather is highly disappointing and it spreads panic among the masses. We tried reaching out to ISRO but failed to get any response.

Others exempted included CNG and electric cars, two-wheelers, cars driven by women and

MEHSANA, OCT 26 (PTI): The Visnagar sessions court in Gujarat on Thursday cancelled the non-bailable arrest warrant issued against Patidar quota agitation leader Hardik Patel after he appeared before it and gave an assurance to it to remain present during hearings in the future. Each of them submitted surety bonds of Rs.5,000. The next hearing will be on November 15. On Wednesday, Sessions judge V.P. Agarwal issued the arrest warrant against Mr. Hardik Patel, convener of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), and six others, including Sardar Patel Group (SPG) convener Lalji Patel, after they failed to to appear before it in a case of vandalism of Visnagar MLA Rishikesh Patel during a protest rally of the Patidar community in July 2015.

The Delhi Police, which was vested with the responsibility of de-sealing the suite, has on several occasions come under the fire of judiciary, for delaying the task. On October 10, Delhi Police was granted six days to comply with court’s earlier order to deseal Hotel Leela’s suite no. 345, as the police reasoned it awaited results from the forensic laboratories.

NEW DELHI, OCT 26 (AGENCIES): Stepping up his attack on the Modi government over the devastating impact of demonetisation and GST, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said the people’s trust in the ruling party is dead due to its leader’s “very big chest and very small heart.” “Trust in this government is dead. PM Modi and the government are convinced every single person is a thief. One develops trust by listening to each other. Today there is no one in the government who is ready to listen to the pain of our people,” Rahul said. He was addressing a gathering of small and medium enterprise owners at the PHD Chamber in the national capital. Terming the economic downturn and rise in unemployment as a “Modi-made disaster”, the Gandhi scion slammed the Centre for pretending “everything was fine” when the economy was in shambles. “Inequality in India is highest in 100 years. This is all MMD - ‘Modi Made Disaster’. Businesses are drowning, but Mr Jaitley has the nerve to go on

formance, which suggests the largest share will go to stronger banks, while some banks - particularly smaller, struggling ones - could still be swept up into the government’s consolidation agenda,” the rating agency said. The report further said that recapitalisation bond if issued by the government could affect its target to reduce central fiscal deficit to 3.2 per cent of GDP this year. “The recapitalisation plans could make this target more difficult to achieve if recapitalisation bonds are to be issued by the central government, which might mean expenditure cuts elsewhere,” the report said. Recapitalisation bonds would still imply contingent liabilities for the government if they are instead issued by quasi-government institutions, it said. “From a sovereign rating perspective, the additional pressure on fiscal balances could be more than offset by the beneficial impact recapitalisation may have in eventually helping to return the banking sector to health, which would support the longer-term economic outlook and reduce uncertainty,” the report added.

Basel III capital standards that will be implemented by end of March 2019. It also estimated that the state banks, which account for 95 per cent of the shortfall, would be dependent on the government to meet these requirements. The banks’ viability ratings would come under more pressure if the problem was not addressed, it had said. “The latest planned injections will go a long way in plugging the total capital gap. They also exceed the USD 6 billion-7 billion that we estimated the government would need to pump in on a bare minimum basis (excluding buffers) to address weak provision cover and aid in effective NPL resolution,” the Fitch report said. The lending growth, however, is still likely to remain weak, at least in the short term, as banks will prioritise asset resolution and provisioning over expansion, it said. The government’s plan to provide capital to all banks carries some risk of encouraging moral hazard, it said. “However, the size of capital allocations is to be determined by per-

Mumbai, Oct 26 (PTI): The recent recapitalisation plan announced by the government for public sector banks will provide substantial funds to the lenders to address the capital shortages, that has a major negative impact on their ratings, says a report. The government recently announced to infuse Rs 2.1 trillion (USD 32 billion) in state-run lenders over a two-year period. Under the current plan, Rs 1.35 trillion of the total amount will come from recapitalisation bonds and Rs 0.76 trillion from budgetary support and fund-raising in the capital markets over the next two years. “The recapitalisation plans for state banks is a significant change from the drip-feed approach pursued over the last few years and should help to address the capital shortages that are a major negative influence on the viability ratings of the banks,” Fitch Ratings said in a report today. Last month, the international rating agency estimated that Indian banks would require around USD 65 billion of additional capital to fully meet the new

Today, the systems and processes in banks are such that one person alone cannot take a call (decision on lending). The decision has to be made through a committee,” Bhattacharya added.

All these new models will be assembled at the company’s two plants in India but did not divulge details of segments where these models would be present. When asked about the absence of hybrids from the line up, he said, “When it comes to India we still don’t know if hybrids segment will grow or how the electric vehicles will grow. We need to study government policy to understand more.”

The card, which has a validity of one year covering unlimited domestic and international travel and available for Indians between the ages of 18 and 70 years, will provide three kinds of coverage to air passengers -- silver, gold and platinum. Silver card passengers will have to pay Rs 1,500 per year, while for gold and platinum, the fees would be Rs 3,000 and Rs 5,000 respectively.

Trump blames Russia for N. Korea tensions

Donald Trump

ance. Pyongyang asserts it will keep building up its nuclear arsenal in “quality and quantity”. US officials estimate it has 60 nuclear weapons, whereas independent experts estimate it has enough uranium to produce six new nuclear bombs a year. In total, the US is in possession of 6,800 nuclear warheads. A partial test ban treaty was ratified by the US in 1963, but the Senate has since rejected ratification of the comprehensive test ban treaty. “At the beginning of 2017, the US Defense Department maintained a stockpile of an estimated 4,480 nuclear warheads for delivery by more than 800 ballistic missiles and aircraft,” reported the

OFFICE OF THE

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. In recent days, a series of weapons tests by North Korea and a string of increasingly combative exchanges between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have ratcheted up tensions. Trump has negotiated with China to help rein in North Korea’s nuclear program. China, North Korea’s sole major ally, accounts for more than 90 percent of trade with the isolated country. Trump said in a tweet that he spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday and raised the issue of North Korea. US-Russia relations have been strained over allegations that Russia had meddled in the 2016 US presidential election, Moscow’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its backing of the Syrian government. “I think we could have a good relationship” with Russia, Trump said. “I think the North Korean situation would be easier settled.” Trump said during last year’s campaign that he hoped to improve relations with Moscow.

over the luxurious lifestyles and high-end London property portfolio owned by his family. Sharif has faced — and come back from — similar challenges in the past. In 1993, he was sacked from his first term as Premier for corruption, while in 1999 he was sentenced to life in prison after his second term in office ended with a military putsch. Following the coup, he was allowed to go into exile in Saudi Arabia, returning in 2007 before becoming the Prime Minister for a third time in 2013. Last month, his wife won his former parliamentary seat during a heated by-election in Lahore, in a poll seen as a key test of the ruling party’s popularity after Mr. Sharif ’s sacking and ahead of a general election due to be held sometime next year.

ISLAMABAD, OCT 26 (AGENCIES): A Pakistani court on Thursday issued an arrest warrant against ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in two cases of corruption originating from the Panama Papers leak, his lawyers said. Sharif is in London with his wife Kalsum as she undergoes cancer treatment, and has not returned to Pakistan since he was indicted in the corruption allegations earlier this month, despite reports he would do so. “The accountability court issued bailable warrants for the former Prime Minister in two cases of alleged corruption today and adjourned [the] hearing until November 3,” one of his defence lawyers, Zafir Khan, told AFP. In late July, the Supreme Court sacked Mr. Sharif following an investigation into corruption allegations against his family, making him the 15th Premier in Pakistan’s 70year history to be ousted before completing the full term. The claims against the Prime Minister stemmed from the Panama Papers leak last year, which sparked a media frenzy

DUBAI, OCT 26 (AGENCIES): New security screenings for all passengers on U.S.-bound flights began on Thursday, with airlines worldwide questioning flyers about their trip and their luggage in the latest Trump administration decision affecting global travel. However, confusion still remains about the new regulations, which come at the end of a 120day period following the United States lifting a ban on laptops in airplane cabins affecting 10 Mideast cities. The new regulations cover all the 2,100 flights from around the world entering the U.S. on any given day. Some airlines said they had received permission to delay implementing the new rules until January. At Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel, long-haul carrier Emirates began questioning passengers about their luggage, liquids they were carrying and where they were coming from. Passengers also had to have their carry-on bags searched, along with their electronics.

Authorities have not yet said how the fire started, but have confirmed it began near the front door and quickly spread. “Victims were found piling at the back, it seems like they were avoiding the blaze at the front door,” Metro TV was informed. Desperate friends and family thronged a nearby police hospital in Keramat Jati looking for loved ones. Video footage shot by an AFP stringer showed victims, covered in bandages, laid out on stretches and others with minor injuries sitting in the hallways or outside. A factory worker at the hospital in Keramat Jati said the fire erupted in the middle of production.

TANGERANG, OCT 26 (AGENCIES): At least 46 people have been killed and dozens more injured in a blaze that tore through a fireworks factory outside Jakarta, police said on Thursday, triggering explosions and sending plumes of black smoke into the air. Many of the charred corpses of victims were found clustered at the back of the factory in an industrial complex in Tangerang, police said, indicating there may have been a panicked rush to flee the flames. “We are still evacuating victims... there are 46 body bags. The evacuation is ongoing,” Harry Kurniawan, Tangerang Kota police chief, told AFP. The police revised the death toll down to 46 from their earlier figure of 47, but said about 10 people remained unaccounted for. A firefighter at the scene said the victims had been burned beyond recognition. “Those who died are completely unrecognisable, totally burnt,” Oni Sahroni told Metro TV. Parts of the building collapsed after being gutted by the blaze, which scorched nearby cars and motorbikes. Witnesses reported hearing blasts erupt from the site. Local resident Beni

Writing on Twitter Yesterday, the musician responded to a comment by the rapper Russ that, “People needa put more respect on @ NICKIMINAJ name”. “This was so nice of you my love, thank you,” wrote Minaj, before commenting that, “In any field, women must work TWICE as hard to even get HALF the respect her male counterparts get. When does this stop?” She continued by suggesting that when she’d collaborated with artists, this hadn’t always been their choice, but instead the recommendation of their record label. “The greats collaborated w/Drake, Kendrick & Jcole b/c they’re dope MC’s. They collab’d w/nicki cuz someone pulled a gun to their heads…” she said. Minaj then dug up a seven year old Tweet by Kendrick Lamar stating that, “Moe niggaz hate nicki minaj than woman do.” Quoting the Tweet, the rapper called the comments, “so telling. And scary.” In October, Nicki Minaj was one of many female artists to congratulate Cardi B on becoming the first solo female rap artist in 19 years to reach number one in the US Billboard charts.

Jitu Rai, Ghatkar fail to enter final

NEW DELHI, OCT 26 (PTI): India experienced a disappointing outing in the ISSF World Cup Final as both their representatives, pistol ace Jitu Rai and Pooja Ghatkar in women’s air rifle, failed to clear the qualification hurdle here Thursday. Rai, fresh from his gold medal in the air pistol mixed event along with Heena Sidhu, could not make the final of the men’s 10m air pistol and was placed ninth. The top eight make the cut. Multiple medallist at top global events, including the World Championships and Asian Games, Rai shot a sequence of 94, 96, 96, 97, 95, and 94 to total 572. He shot 95 in the penultimate 10-shot series and eventually dropped to 94 to bow out of the competition at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting ranges. Eventual gold medal winner Matsuda Tomoyuki of Japan, who qualified eighth, aggregated 573 in the qualification, while Viet-

Ghatkar had opened India’s medal tally in the World Cup Stage 1 earlier in the year, by winning a bronze in the same event.

With his score, Matsuda also set a new world record, besting the one set by Germany’s Christian Reitz at the 2017 European Championship in Maribor. Alongside Matsuda on the podium was Ukrainian sensation Pavlo Korostylov, competing in his second World Cup Final at the age of 19. He won the silver with 241.1 and a junior world record to boot. Despite a remarkable second half of the match, Korostylov was not able to match Matuda’s pace. His more experienced Ukrainian teammate Oleh Omelchuk, completed the 10m air pistol men podium, taking bronze medal with 218.8 points and adding it to the World Cup Final Gold he won in Bangkok in 2008 and to the bronze he won in Munich in 2013.

The Sunil Gavaskar Field will serve as the home ground for the Louisville Cricket Club.

M U M B A I , O ct 2 6 (PTI): Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar inaugurated a cricket field in Louisville in the state of Kentucky in USA, thus making it the first international sporting facility named after an Indian sportsperson. The Sunil Gavaskar Field, inaugurated on October 15, will serve as the home ground for the Louisville Cricket Club, which is part of the 42-team MidWest Cricket League, a media release said on Thursday. The club, along with Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, built a cricket pitch at the Hays Kennedy Park. “I am delighted and privileged at the honor,” Gavaskar said in a statement.

“It’s a unique honour to have a cricket field named after me, especially in a country where cricket is not a premier sport.” The club also organized a dinner for Gavaskar, where Fischer presented him with a key to the city. Mayor Fischer said he expects the city’s $150,000 investment in the fields will reap great rewards. “We are an increasingly global community, and cricket is already part of our city’s sporting landscape,” he said. “We hope the investment at Hays Kennedy Park will open the sport to more local participation, and the city to even more global opportunities,” he added.

V isakhapatnam , Oct 26 (IANS): Railways stars Manoj Kumar and Mandeep Jangra had an easy day in the ring as they comfortably won their respective matches on Day 2 of the Elite Mens National Boxing Championship here on Thursday. Manoj, the 2010 Commonwealth Gold medallist, was declared the winner against Uttar Pradesh’s Rahul Gupta in the second round itself as the referee stopped the contest. In the first round of his welterweight (69 kilogram) bout, Manoj maintained a safe distance from Rahul but still kept landing his jabs and hooks. “It was all about getting the cobwebs out in the initial round as I attacked without taking any risk,” he explained later. He showed a glimpse of his prowess in the second round as he mounted a vicious attack. A perfect combination of a right jab and a left hook saw his opponent biting the dust. The referee felt that Rahul couldn’t continue and Manoj Kumar was given a ticket into the next round.

Venus stuns Muguruza to keep year-end bid alive SINGAPORE, OCT 26 (Agencies): American veteran Venus Williams kept alive her dreams of winning the WTA Finals and making a shock return to world number one when she knocked out second-ranked Garbine Muguruza in straight sets on Thursday. Williams, 37, defeated Muguruza 7-5, 6-4 in one hour and 41 minutes to become the second semi-finalist out of White Group behind world number three Karolina Pliskova, who finished top. The seven-time Grand S l a m w i n n e r m o ve d around the court crisply, showing no ill effects from Tuesday’s three-hour marathon against Jelena Ostapenko, as she dumped out Wimbledon champion Muguruza. “I was happy to win the last point,” Williams said. “It is not easy out here, you have to play every point well otherwise you lose the game. “I had some great coaching coming into the game, I hope we can win some more.” With the victory, Williams maintains her hopes of returning to world num-

ber one - a position she last held in 2002 - by winning the season finale on Sunday. But it was a tame end for Muguruza, the WTA player of the year who demolished Williams in this year’s Wimbledon final, but who faded in Singapore after a strong start. With both players needing to win to progress, they came out looking sharp but they also struggled to hold serve and Williams broke Muguruza five times to propel her to victory. The win means Williams, who lifted the trophy in 2008, has never failed to reach the semifinals in five appearances at the season-ending tournament. Earlier, the alreadyqualified Pliskova lost in straight sets to Jelena Ostapenko in her final White Group match, and admitted it was hard to lift herself for the dead rubber. “It was really tough to push myself and play my best tennis when you know you’ve qualified,” the 25year-old said, after she was outclassed 6-3, 6-1 in 66 minutes by the French Open champion.

India now a football country: FIFA chief KO L K ATA , O ct 2 6 (PTI): “India is a football country now,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino declared after arriving here to chair the FIFA Council meeting on Friday and attend the U-17 World Cup final. Asked about the successful organistion of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the 47-year-old clad in a dark suit said: “Thank you very much all the Indians. That’s most important. It’s a great pleasure to here.” The All India Football Federation vice-president Subrata Dutta received Infantino at the airport and later in the day he will have an informal meeting with the AIFF supremo Praful Patel who is also staying at the same hotel on EM Bypass. According to sources, there could be discussions on India’s bid for the U-20 World Cup in 2019, chances of which have brightened after the overwhelming success of U-17 World Cup which is all set to topple China-1985 as the best attended event in the tournament’s history. “While that appears to be the advantage the only drawback is that the FIFA has never allowed back to back World Cup events to one country. But with FIFA Council meeting here, it can be ratified,” an official with the local organising committee said.

Gianni Infantino

The meeting on Friday will also have discussions on the implementation of the contentious video assistant referee technology in Russia World Cup 2018 with the FIFA president keen on it. Critics, however, said there’s not nearly enough proof that the process works properly and argue Infantino is rushing into technology prematurely. Last Dece mber’s Club World Cup in Japan for the first time saw the VARs in a FIFA competition but it only drew flak for causing confusion. The system can only be used for goals, penalty decisions, direct red cards and cases of mistaken identity. Infantino is also the state guest of the West Bengal government and chief minister Mamata Banerjee will host a dinner for the FIFA chief. The FIFA chief, who was accompanied by a

35-member delegation, will also attend a programme attended by a host of former footballers at Eco Park. Then on October 28, the FIFA boss will hand over the glittering U-17 World Cup Trophy to the winners of the summit clash between England and Spain at the Salt Lake Stadium. M e a n w h i l e, F I FA lauded India for delivering a hugely successful U-17 World Cup, both in terms of quality of football as well as organisation, and said that the country seems capable of hosting bigger global tournaments in the future. Addressing a press conference, along with All India Football Federation president Praful Patel, FIFA Head of Competitions Jaime Yarza said the infrastructure provided for the first ever FIFA tournament was world-class and all the teams were happy with the organisation.
